Groningen, many people are ridiculed, Gecun.

This is mainly due to the fact that Groningen is located in the northeast of the Netherlands and is a major agricultural region.

Coming out of the Groningen train station, all the way to the north, there are green pastures along the way, as far as the eye can see, a lazy cow in the pasture under the blue sky, leisurely gnawing on the grass, raising its head from time to time, moo~

When Ye Qiu saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile very happily.

At this moment, he was sitting in the car to Bedham, and on the left side of the road was a clear river, and on the right was the scene of the ranch he had just seen, which made him suddenly feel relieved when he was sitting in the car.

At this time, if it is a horse galloping, it should have a different taste.

However, just think about it, he doesn't know how to ride a horse.

From the train station to Bedham, 15 minutes.

It's a small town with a small population, and if you were in the country, it would probably only be a village.

Because it is a hot summer, there are many elderly people playing outside, some sitting on the riverside fishing, and some sitting on kayaks down the river, which caused a burst of cheers, which can be regarded as a joy.

Ye Qiu got off at the intersection and walked into a coffee shop called Harit.

On the outside of the shop is a piece of paper with an interesting phrase written, "All singles are welcome!" ”

"The owner of this shop must be a man who can't make up for girls!" Rowland pointed to the paper and smiled.

Ye Qiu was also a waner, pushing open the door of the coffee shop and entering.

"Welcome!" It was a young man who came out to receive him, "Excuse me, what do you want?" ”

Ye Qiu walked up, "Hello, I want to find someone." ”

"You say, I know all the people in this town!" The owner was welcoming.

"Hans? Robben! Ye Qiu said.

The man smiled, "Look for Hans, you go out and walk along this street, turn right at the intersection, and go past the third house!" ”

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu nodded in thanks.

"Are you here to find Arjan?"

Ye Qiu stopped walking towards the door of the store and nodded, "Yes, we are from Ajax!" ”

"Ajax?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised, but quickly smiled, "Arjan is the best genius we have seen in our town for decades, you have a real eye!" ”

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu walked out of the store directly this time.

He went out with Roland, continued straight on, and followed the direction indicated by the shopkeeper to find Robben's house.

Like the other houses in town, a small and elaborate one-and-a-half red-brick dwelling, except for a car parked in front of the door and a bicycle leaning next to it.

Jingle ~ Jingle ~

Ye Qiu stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and it didn't take long for a middle-aged man to come out, and when he saw Ye Qiu, he was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect an Oriental to come to visit, but he quickly noticed Roland.

"Hello, Arjan? Robben's home? Ye Qiu asked politely.

Hans nodded, "Yes, you are?" ”

"Ye Qiu, Ajax manager!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

The news has spread all over the Netherlands, and anyone who pays even a little attention to football knows that Ajax has set an extraordinary record by hiring a 25-year-old Chinese man as their head coach.

Of course, many people are not optimistic about Ye Qiu's coaching of the first team, but everyone can't deny that Ye Qiu can lead the second team to defeat Eindhoven, Feyenoord and other strong teams to win the Dutch Cup, which is a great achievement.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu, please come in!" Hans immediately realized something.

Ever since Ye Qiu led the Under-15s to play a match against Groningen's youth team, he has focused on Robben.

The kid is a good piece of material, having been very eye-catching at the Under-15s last season, scoring in almost every game except against Ajax, scoring a total of 50 goals in all competitions, a figure that even surpassed Huntelaar and Van der Vaart, which shows Robben's quality and potential.

However, Groningen was in the Eredivisie last season, and their youth team is relatively average, and the media will not focus on youth team competitions now, so the fact that Robben scored 50 goals in the youth team should only be known by scouts and clubs who focus on him.

Of course, it is not clear whether any club has contacted Robben.

Unlike Robben, who was always bald in his previous life, Robben, who is only 16 years old now, has short black hair, very short and short, so it still doesn't look much different from his previous life, Ye Qiu recognized it at a glance.

Robben naturally recognized Ye Qiu, and when he walked downstairs to meet, he took the initiative to say hello.

At least, the previous game when Ajax played Groningen impressed Robben deeply, and it was also his worst game last season, coupled with Ye Qiu's series of deeds in the second team later, it was difficult for him to forget this person.

"Mr. Robben, since the last time I led the Under-15s to play a game against FC Groningen, our scouts have been focusing on your son and we really appreciate his performance in the youth team, so the main purpose of my visit this time is to invite your son to Amsterdam and play for Ajax!"

Ye Qiu likes to get straight to the point, and as soon as he saw Robben recognize him, he went straight to the topic.

Hans? Robben is also very proud of his son, and he has received some contact from scouts before, so he is not at all surprised that his son has been able to catch Ajax's attention.

Although there are many rookies in the Dutch youth league who score more goals, there are not many who can score 50 goals in a season!

"Mr. Ye Qiu, thank you very much for your attention to Aryang, but we have signed a professional contract with Groningen, and Arjan is still studying in Groningen, so I'm afraid we can only say sorry to you!" Hans shook his head.

Ye Qiu was not surprised by this, because Ajax's scouts had contacted him before, but he was rejected, otherwise, Ye Qiu would not have to come to the door in person, and since he came, it would not be so easy to give up.

"I know your concerns, we work very closely with the best high schools and universities in Amsterdam, and we have a number of players in the squad, such as Rafael? Van der Vaart, Wesley? Sneijder, Klaas? Yang? Huntelaar, they are still going to school, but they will be playing for the team's first team in the new season! ”

Ye Qiu's words seem to be introducing his own situation, but in fact, he is also throwing an olive branch of temptation, telling Hans and Robben, look at those peers of yours, they will all play in the first team of Ajax, play in the Eredivisie, and even European competitions, don't you want to be like them?

Sure enough, Ye Qiu's words made Hans and Robben look at each other when they heard it, and they were obviously a little shaken.

You know, the same commitment coming out of the scout's mouth is very different from the head coach's mouth.

"In the new season, we will carry out a rejuvenation reform, I came from the academy, and there will be a group of outstanding young talents to represent Ajax, and I am very confident that in the next few years, we can create a new and full of fighting Ajax youth army!"

After a pause, Ye Qiu looked at Robben and his son, with a sincere expression, "I hope Alyang can be a part of it!" ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Qiu glanced at Roland, who immediately took out a document from his briefcase.

This document contains an assessment of Robben by Ajax's scouting department.

Here, we have to mention the scouting process of Ajax.

Generally speaking, when a scout digs up a rookie, or the head coach arranges a scout to inspect a rookie, he first arranges for the nearest scout to go over, and after a period of inspection, submits a report, which will automatically enter the next round according to the evaluation score given by the Ajax Scouting Department's rating template for player scouting, as long as the score reaches a certain height.

Ajax will then pass on the assessment report to other scouts, usually in the Netherlands, with more than three people, asking them to also look at the player and submit a copy of their scouting report, and then carry out a consolidated evaluation and then come up with the most detailed and final evaluation report.

This evaluation report will go through the scouting department, then add analysis from the technical analysis department, and finally reach the head coach.

Ye Qiu's evaluation report lists Robben's performance in the past season in great detail, points out his strengths and weaknesses, and proposes some feasible guidance and ways and methods to carve out.

It can be said that Ye Qiu personally took action, and he vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal, and this report is the key.

Hans looked at this report, and had to admire the ability and rigor of Ajax's scouts, almost everything they could think of, very detailed, after all, it is an old youth team, in terms of developing players, it must be nothing, other Eredivisie teams can't catch up.

"What I can guarantee is that if Aljan arrives at Ajax and plays directly in the Eredivisie next season, I will give him the best environment and care, and play to his characteristics and strengths, and I believe that with Ajax's ability, coupled with young talents such as Van der Vaart and Sneijder, Robben can get better play and space."

Ye Qiu's commitment and preparation all showed his sincerity, especially considering his Ajax background, which was indeed a temptation that was difficult for Robben and his son to refuse.

Groningen did get promoted back to the Eredivisie last season, but there is still a big gap between this team and Ajax.

"But next year I'm going to take the high school entrance exam!" Robben said with a frown.

Ye Qiu had read some of Robben's information in his previous life, and he knew some things about him in high school, and smiled, "Don't worry, Ajax also attaches great importance to this aspect, we will contact you with a good school to ensure your studies and grades, and Amsterdam is not far from Groningen, if you want to visit anyone, it is very convenient to go back and forth during the holidays!" ”

When Robben on the other side heard this, he immediately blushed violently, where did he think that the matter of his secret love affair with a classmate was also told by Ye Qiuzhi, which made him completely become a shy little boy.

Hans also knew that in terms of academics, Robben's grades were very good, and the problem was not big, and the sincerity given by Ajax was enough, but Groningen was a problem.

Regarding Hans's worries, Ye Qiu gave understanding, "If you agree, we will negotiate with Groningen in the name of the club, and you don't need to come forward, and it will be directly negotiated between the two of us." ”

Arjen Robben is now just a 16-year-old who hasn't played in the first team at Groningen, even if he plays well in the youth team, but so what? Are there still fewer talented rookies in the Dutch youth team?

A player like Robben who has never experienced the first-team training will not be worth much, and hundreds of thousands will be worth the sky.

Just like in his previous life, after Huntelaar went on loan to the Dutch Second League, he scored 26 goals in 35 games, and the price for him to switch to Heerenveen was only 900,000, and he was still in the Dutch Second Professional League, and Robben was just a youth league league, so the price would not be high, and Ye Qiu could make a decision directly.

However, there is a saying that is quite true, supply and demand determine the market price.

In the previous life, Huntelaar's price was not high, mainly because Eindhoven did not pay attention to him, but now Groningen attaches great importance to Robben, and originally planned to promote Robben to the first team next season, but now Ajax suddenly stepped in, and Groningen was unhappy.

But nothing is inseparable from a money word, Ye Qiu went directly to the Groningen Club with Roland after getting Robben and his son to negotiate.

Although Groningen is not very happy, Ajax has more influence, and if they get the player, you can't do anything, so Groningen can only choose money, but it is very tight on the price, and he is willing to release him only if he wants $2 million, but Ye Qiu negotiated with Groningen.

After an afternoon of negotiations, an agreement was reached whereby Groningen let go of the star of hope Arjan for $1.2 million. Arjen Robben, who will play for Ajax in the new season.

That is, after signing Robben, Ye Qiu deeply realized the benefits of the big club, at least, the person that Lao Tzu fancies, don't worry about not being able to dig it.

…………

…………

Ye Qiu's signing of Robben did not cause the slightest stir and repercussions, because this kind of thing is too common in the Netherlands, who will react to Ajax's signing of a young rookie?

On the contrary, it was another transfer that surprised many people.

That's the Portuguese genius Dani? Carvalho.

As a once-selected international for the Portuguese national team, Dani? Carvalho's slump at Ajax cost him the chance to play at the European Championships, but everyone blamed more on the turmoil at Ajax. Carvalho's strength still gives a lot of confidence.

And in the Iberian Peninsula, Dani? Carvalho's popularity is still very strong, which has led to Benfica, Sporting Lisbon, Atletico Madrid and other Portuguese and Spanish teams are interested in him, among which Atletico Madrid has been relegated to La Liga this season, but hopes to get Dani? Carvalho to strengthen the team's midfield.

Eventually, Dani? Carvalho's $2.5 million move to the talent-hungry Atletico Madrid side is not too high for a former Portugal international, but considering that Dani has not shown any convincing quality over the past two seasons, the move was a success.

Atletico Madrid's general manager Futre is against Dani? Carvalho is very bullish, he said, Dani? Carvalho will be the team's hope for a return to La Liga, and he firmly believes that Dani? Carvalho was able to return to his top at Atletico Madrid.

And this handsome Portuguese man who is famous in the Iberian Peninsula without relying on football skills, but relying on a handsome face, is also full of expectations for his trip to Madrid, and he said that he will use his ability to help Atletico Madrid return to La Liga in the new season.

But at the same time, he also said that he was not taken seriously at Ajax, which was the reason for his departure, on the contrary, Atletico Madrid gave him enough respect, saying that Atletico Madrid is still a great team despite relegation.

Ajax let Dani go? Carvalho, who ended one of the transfers to the soap opera, got $2.5 million, although compared to the expenditure on bringing in Dani that year, it was a bit of a loss, but at least it was a bit of a return to the capital.

The most cheating is still Huizinger, the Dutch center forward was brought in from Heerenveen for $4 million six months ago, but after half a year, he could only be sold at a discount of $2 million, because he scored two pitiful goals in six months at Ajax, and with the departure of Westerhoff, everyone knew that Huizinger must go, and the price could not be high.

Think about it, half a year's loss of salary plus $2 million is really enough to cheat!

After announcing his return to Heerenveen, Huizinger immediately gave an interview to reporters and bombarded Ajax's new head coach Ye Qiu.

'He doesn't know how to manage a team at all, and his age makes him impossible to control the dressing room, I've heard a lot of people unhappy with him, and I can guarantee that having him as head coach would be the stupidest decision Ajax ever made, and I'm even worried that he will take Ajax to relegation in the new season.'

In response to the bombardment from Huizinger, Ajax officials once again expressed their support and affirmation for Ye Qiu, and at the same time criticized Huizinger's remarks about leaving the team, believing that this is a very irresponsible word and deed.

But Ye Qiu, who was far away in Qatar, didn't know about this matter.

He took Roland to visit Gufren, the grandmaster of FIFA's scientific and chemical training who coached in Qatar, hoping to invite him back to the Netherlands, but Gufren, who was already past his prime, obviously didn't have this idea, but he recommended two students in Qatar to Ye Qiu, Rene? Muhrensteen and Ricardo? Moniz.

In Guferen's words, they all already have enough theoretical things to accumulate experience with more practice, and Ajax's youth academy is undoubtedly a good platform and environment, especially considering that this is the nest of Michels and Cruyff, which makes Guferen even more excited.

Ye Qiu is not reluctant, Gu Furen is so old, it is not good to be reluctant, and he is very clear about the abilities of Muhrensteen and Moniz, and they are definitely powerful characters, so this trip to Qatar can also be said to be a full return.

After making an appointment with Mulensteen and Moniz, Ye Qiu asked them to return to the Netherlands first, while he himself took Roland to Brazil.
